 It is something really surprising and Worthy of the most serious attention on the part of the polo philosophers that, while Meriden and New Haven can, and do as a rule, play good, clean polo, with all other clubs, it is to the knife when the teams meet.
 The signing of Higgins as second base man, gives immense satisfaction, and his contract had not been in Syracuse half an a large offer for his release from a National league team, which offer, of course, was promptly refused,-Sporting Life.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
JACQUES OPERA HOUSE.

''Fitznoodle" is the attraction which Manager Jacques will present at his house this evening. The leading character Fitz- noodle is poor young scion of a noble English house who visits the United States with a view to marry an heiress. Her un- willingness to be sacrificed and the mistake of a Mulberry street detective form the plays complication. Fitznoodle is placed under espionage as burglar, and the em- barrassment is only relieved at the close of the piece, when the detective dis covers his error, the heiress weds her true love and Fitznoodle is consoled by the hand of poor but pretty girl, as well as by the intelligence that a successful lawsuit has made him an Earl and millionaire Cedric Hove plays the title role and the New Haven Journal and Courier says he will make big hit. The support is con sidered good by those who have seen the first few productions of the play

wATERRURY BADLY BEATEN The Home Teams Poor Playing Loses 8
 Game.


 Nearly 1000 people saw the polo game at the rink last night, between Waterbury and New Haven teams. The home team played Micombre, who has signed to play here at second rush. Micombre used to do some good work with the hockey, but last night he played a wild and reckless game McKie, although cred ited with as many stops as Watson, played istless game at goal. Of course it was not to be expected that Frazier and Gun ningham would play the entire game, but. that was about what they did last night. The home team played on the defensive a greater portion of the game. Their pass ing was depelrable aud line hits were a rarity. They may do well to set up against Bridgeport, but they need practice to cope with New Havens team: The score:
